About the program…
Individuals, corporations, and non-profits are increasingly investing in hedge funds, and need to understand the tax and other risks such investments may carry. They are looking to tax practitioners for advice in this emerging area. This presentation discusses: (i) how hedge funds are structured; (ii) what strategies hedge funds deploy to generate returns; (iii) the taxation of financial derivatives; (iv) the myriad of income, partnership, international, estate & gift tax considerations; (v) the interplay of the constructive sale & straddle rules; and (vi) the specific investment risks that are inherent in hedge funds.
